PST stands for Paiste Sound Technology. This is Paiste's promise to deliver quality to cymbals at an affordable price. The PST 5s are Paiste’s entry level cymbal, which introduces you to that great Paiste sound without putting you in the poor house.

With modern musical trends in mind, Paiste re-designed these cymbals to give them a deeper, warmer sound. By thinning these cymbals out a bit, Paiste was able to improve their tonality while still preserving their bright character. These new thinner models also help take the stress off of your wrists, creating less fatigue over longer periods of play.

The PST 5 offers up everything you'd want in a china. It's sharp, cutting, and loud with a trashy element to it that is still incredibly musical. This cymbal plays just as great as it sounds. This guarantees that it will be a constant part of your set up.
